She continued, “I myself have lost a lot of immaturity. There were things that my friends could feel that I couldn’t. I learned at an early age what it is like to live in the real world among adults. I missed out on school field trips and after-school activities. When my friends were having fun, I had to train.”

Jeon Jiyoon also added, “When I talk to my friends, the subjects I am interested in are very different than what my friends find interesting. They also think very differently. I felt sad, because we led such different lives with vastly different problems.”
